G has been a bad girl...

Yes, I have been bad, but I did finish my free-hand version of Dreamer! So far, two different coloring styles of the character exist, but the second one is not quite complete.

Mainly, I've been trying to get one art request finished for someone on Deviant Art.  It probably would have gone faster with graphite shading; but I feel the graphite would not have done the scene any justice.  It's the kind of scenario that needs warm, comfortable lighting to achieve a great romance feel.  You'll see what I mean when I share the picture.

For starters, I'll share my freehand version of Dreamer below:



Needless to say, I am super proud of this concept! I haven't quite gotten around to a finalized full-body portrait yet, but that's coming soon to the sketchbook.  Dreamer is loosely based on my dream self.  I'm not sure what I look like in my dreams, so I went with an anime style.  Dreamer has the combined talents of super speed and flight - this was inspired by a dream where I literally had those two skills.  It was awesome! Dreamer can also change color depending on her current mood.  If she's mad, she'll turn red/orange.  If she's feeling down, she'll turn gray.  Basically, every color of the spectrum that corresponds with a certain mood, that's the color she becomes.  This is based on the fact that my eyes change shade/tone depending on mood and environment; this actually happens to green-eyed people.  If I'm in a super good mood, my eyes usually are a brighter, more intense green; if I'm feeling relaxed, they turn blue; if the weather is super nasty, gray, and rainy, my eyes become a shade of grey (maybe with a hint of the original green).     

I have to say, Dreamer is the best representation of myself ever created! This character could go far - and I mean, faaaarrrr.  I haven't thought of a backstory yet, but I'll make that part of my agenda.  

That's all for today! See you next time!
